New studio looking great !! Great review Erik !! The only song I slightly disagree is RUNAWAY 10 for me ! Looking forward to the reviews Bon Jovi solo albums Blaze of Glory and Destination Anywhere ??
RUNAWAY is definitely a 10 as far as status, but I personally don't love it as much as Roulette and Shot Through The Heart, but it is awesome for sure, no doubt.. maybe I should've gone 9.5.
I love this album and it’s a great feat for a debut hard rock album, even though some people kind of forget this album except for Runaway, maybe, and my favourites on this album are ‘Runaway’, ‘She Don’t Know Me’, ‘Love Lies’ ‘Burning For Love’, ‘Come Back’ and ‘Get Ready’ and the others are great on this album too, but it came out the same year as Metallica’s ‘Ride The Lightning’ and Iron Maiden’s ‘Powerslave’ too, and this was my third classic Bon Jovi album I heard after ‘Slippery When Wet’ and ‘7800 Fahrenheit’ and after ‘Have A Nice Day’, ‘Blaze Of Glory’, ‘The Circle’ and ‘Crush’, which were great albums, a great start for my favourite band, and done really well, since then.
You summed it up perfectly,a solid debut from a band which was ti become one of the worlds biggest,I love the typical 80s hair metal sound on it.They did some songs live from this and 7800 but in front of an American crowd and apart from the diehards they went down like a lead balloon,should have done them for a European audience.Anyway top notch review again.bonjovi4ever
I tend to not listen to the first two albums as much as the rest of the discography, but between the two i tend to get into 7800° a little more. Not that the debut is a bad album by any stretch but it's never been my favorite album by Bon Jovi either Runaway: iconic song for sure, im kinda on the same page as you, i like it though its not a personal favorite of mine 7/10 Roulette: my favorite part of this song is that riff, such a great introduction to the world for Richie Sambora! Maybe I'm not as high on it as you but I'm giving it another solid 7/10 She Dont Know Me: Ive always enjoyed this song quite a bit, one of if not my favorite on the album 7/10 Shot Thorough the Heart: i always thought this was kind of an over looked song, always enjoyed it quite a bit, its another 7/10 Love Lies: ok now we're getting into a string of songs i have never been able to get into, i do like the chorus alot but never cared for the verses 4/10 Breakout: again just never really clicked with this song, its not bad, as Bon Jovi have certainly done worse, but i never really got into Breakout 4/10 Burning For Love: another song i never really was to into, not bad but not a favorite 5/10 Come Back: Ive always liked this song, really love the choppy verses 7/10 Get Ready: i know alot of people don't like this song but i always have. Fun guitar driven party song 7/10 Nothing on this album stands out to me as favorite Jovi songs but there are some really solid songs, overall one of my least favorite Jovi albums but certainly not bad
Amazing album. No bad songs on it. I always have trouble saying which ones i like more on the album. Maybe i expected a bit higher rating from you on this one like on Fahrenheit.
I agree it has no bad songs.. we'll see where it ends up in the final ranking but it should be pretty high but then again there are so many great albums!
That's the spirit, Jim! I think Erik's channel would make so many people happy, and I hope TH-cam algorhythm catches up one day! One of the people it would make happy, is JBJ. Great job inspiring us Erik! And congratulations on finishing the series of main studio albums.
Love your reviews, really look forward to them, but your scores drive me a little nuts. Runaway is a 10, She Don’t Know Me, Breakout and Get Ready are 9’s, the rest are 7’s or less. Really strong debut.
Thanks.. You can't expect us to agree one very song exactly the same, though right? That's just how it goes but I did give Runaway a 9.5; pretty close to a 10.

Absolutely; fantastic debut album! All the talent is there and amazing songwriting.
Runaway was the reason I bought this cassette back in the day but I loved the whole thing especially Breakout, Roulette and Shot through the heart❤
I noticed something during the Come Back segment. During the intro you zoomed in on Richie. Subliminal message perhaps?? Hmmm...🤔🤔🤔
Good job!
The whole album sounds like 11 PM to 3 AM in the city. Very night time album. It's really hard to call Bon Jovi songs filler. Filler is relative.
Love your 11pm - 3am comment! So true! Rock Noir

Yess looks like the Chucky we know and love.. I'll have to do a video on it!
@@EriksHouse can't wait for your reaction to the full traller this sunday

It's a shame they haven't played "she don't know me" since '85, that's a great song
I have all Bon Jovi CD and many single too,I am a big BJ fan from Singapore
Hopefully one day the great JBJ can subscribe to your channel and watch all the album reviews ?
One can dream! :)
That's the spirit, Jim! I think Erik's channel would make so many people happy, and I hope TH-cam algorhythm catches up one day!
